Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 pieces eggs Provides structure and moisture; swap with flax eggs for a vegan version.
  • cup Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and boosts protein content; use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener Sweetens the batter; monk fruit or erythritol works great, adjust to your taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor; feel free to omit if using flavored protein powder.
  • ½ cup oat flour Basis for texture; substitute blended rolled oats or almond flour for a gluten-free alternative.
  • cup protein powder Increases protein content; vanilla flavor is ideal for these Protein Waffles.
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder Acts as a leavening agent for fluffiness.
  • A pinch salt Balances the flavors beautifully.

Equipment

  • waffle iron

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Protein Waffles
  1. In a large bowl, crack two eggs and whisk them together until frothy. Next, add ⅓ cup of Greek yogurt, 1 to 2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup of oat flour, ⅓ cup of protein powder, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients until evenly blended, ensuring there are no lumps. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
  3. While your batter rests for a moment, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or a brush of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron, spreading it evenly if needed. Close the lid and cook the waffles for about 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, depending on your specific appliance.
  5. Carefully remove the Protein Waffles from the iron using a fork or spatula, allowing them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve them warm topped with your favorite ingredients such as fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, or an extra dollop of Greek yogurt.
